Plan and Sketch a Potential Final Project

For my final project, I would like to design a ALUMINIUM CAN RECYCLING BIN in mu school. It is because I found that other disposed materials are often mixed up with the recyclables inside the aluminium can recycling bins. Since the enviormental group will collect the cans once a week, so compressing the cans is very important to increase the amount of collection. Last but not least, encourage and riase students awareness of recycling, it is necessary to record their recycle history for reward or education in the future.

ALUMINIUM CAN RECYCLING BIN function include: - Automatically recognise and sort aluminium cans - Automatically crush the empty cans - Record the stuednt recycle history

This is the commonly aluminium cans size in Hong Kong market

This is my sketch of my ALUMINIUM CAN RECYCLING BIN.

This is the first idea for crushing cans
